The Class of 2014While every effort is made before the program goes to press, to insure an accurate listing of the names of all students qualified for undergraduate and graduate degrees, errors are possible. The listing of a name in this program is not an indication that the person has, in fact, received a degree from San José State University. Conversely, the absence of a student’s name herein does not indicate that the person has not been awarded a San José State University degree.

The renovated Jack Holland Student Success Center (JHSSC) has seen a surge in usage, not in small measure due to the improved facilities and environment of the Center.

Since October 2013, JHSSC advisors have seen over 5000 students, and since the start of the Spring 2014 semester, over 1600 students have come in to meet with tutors for help with their business courses.

We have enhanced Center services by providing writing tutors (addressing a top skill deficit of our students), registration workshops, and greater access to our Peer Leaders who share their strategies for success in our business school.

We plan on expanding support for career planning and global experiences in the coming months.
